Cut the time you spend on emergency preparedness in half.
Visit Bridge Health automates the patient outreach and the response gathering — so activating your plan takes minutes, not a day of phone calls, and every reply is already sorted before you open the dashboard.
CMS says check on every patient. Nobody says how.
Right now, a storm warning means someone on your team pulls a spreadsheet, calls every active patient by hand, and writes down who answered. It works — until the storm is bigger than your staff's available hours.
The list is already out of date
By the time someone exports your active patient roster, three admissions and two discharges have happened since.
Follow-up depends on memory
Who already got a call today? Who said they needed something? It's tracked on paper, or not tracked at all.
Surveyors ask for proof
"Show me how you knew your patients were safe" is a real survey question. A binder full of notes isn't a fast answer.
It happens on your worst day
The day you need this the most is the day your team has the least time to do it manually.
One system, the whole way through the event.
Visit Bridge Health's Emergency Preparedness Portal stays synced to your EMR at all times, so it's ready the moment you need it — before the weather turns, while it's happening, and after it's over.
Your patient list, always current
The portal pulls every active patient and their contact info directly from your EMR, continuously — no export, no manual roster to maintain.
You activate. We reach out.
You turn on Emergency Preparedness for your agency. Visit Bridge Health sends the touch points, on the schedule you set, and captures every reply as it comes in.
A report for the binder
When you close out the event, you get a full communication and response summary — formatted to hand to a surveyor, not just to read.
Demo Home Health Agency, winter storm
The agency turns it on.
Demo Home Health Agency sees a winter storm forecast for January 20th and activates its Emergency Preparedness program two days out. Every active patient gets an advance notice, automatically, the same morning.
No call list to build. The portal already has the current roster from the agency's EMR.
The check-in goes out — and splits into two paths.
On the morning the storm is scheduled to hit, every patient gets a second message asking a direct question: are you safe, or do you need help? The reply routes the patient automatically.
Anyone who stayed quiet gets one more try.
Two days after the storm, the system automatically re-sends the same check-in — but only to the patients who never replied. Everyone who already answered isn't messaged again.
Any new "2" replies land straight in the dashboard alongside the originals.
Everything, summarized, ready for the binder.
When the agency closes out the event, Visit Bridge Health compiles every message sent and every reply received into one report — built for the shelf next to the emergency preparedness plan, not just for internal review.
Winter Storm — Communication Summary
One screen, every patient accounted for.
Whoever is running the event sees exactly who's been reached, who's safe, who needs a callback, and who hasn't answered yet — with a call button that dials directly from the platform.
